New Green Building Litigation--Washington State Builders Sue To Enjoin Green Building Law From Taking Effect
This just in...According to King5.com:
The Building Industry Association of Washington filed a federal court lawsuit in Seattle to stop new regulations that are set to take effect July 1 for the construction of all new homes. It targets the Washington State Building Code Council, which created the new code that requires higher efficiency furnaces and hot-water heaters and other measures that make the home more enviormentally friendly.
This appears to be similar to AHRI v. Albuquerque, wherein the national trade associations for air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration sued the City of Albuquerque to enjoin their green building code. The complaint is downloadable here.
